Канон

Канон

Канон is a term applied to most franchises with one or more possible storylines, and refers to which of them is the official one to follow. In RuneScape, Old School RuneScape and RuneScape: Dragonwilds canon may be used to describe the correct or official way the world of Gielinor functions, or how things or people in the game run and act.

Jagex tries at every possible opportunity to keep to the established canon, but there is still dispute about certain subjects, especially on sketchy and highly-speculated subjects, such as the history of gods.

Sources of Continuity

In RuneScape: DragonWilds, continuity is established through direct references to lore, entities, and materials originating from RuneScape and Old School RuneScape. These include references to the Шестая эпоха, Anima-infused Bark, and the visual design of creatures such as the abyssal demon, which closely mirrors its Old School RuneScape counterpart.

These elements function as sources of continuity, as they are supported by in-game journal entries, lore scraps, and material descriptions. Whether presented as environmental storytelling or documented records, such entries provide canonical context that links Dragonwilds to the broader RuneScape universe. According to statements from Мод Рэйвен, Dragonwilds is written with awareness of both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape canon. However, while references to both continuities are intentionally acknowledged, the game’s overarching narrative and timeline align primarily with RuneScape’s established chronology.

Continuity Timeline

As stated above, the events of RuneScape: DragonWilds takes place in RuneScape's timeline, in the same age, after the event of the quest Aftermath, where the gods no longer roam Gielinor, not specific to when. However, the history of Ashenfall, it's founding and the event that occurred there during the Первая эпоха, Вторая эпоха and Третья эпоха are canon to both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape.

In cases where the lore of RuneScape and Old School RuneScape diverges, such as differing outcomes of major historical events, the game may adhere to one timeline for narrative consistency or, where necessary, establish an independent continuity.
